Do you think this will work? UPDATE!!

I decided to try to re-breed one if the New Zealands. Will the buck
really wanted her. I held her head and lifted her rear a little with my other hand.
He bred her successfully right away.

I am going to give the blue a few days to recover, then try to re-breed her.

Actually, I recommend re-breeding her ASAP, since you have another doe bred at about the same time. Having does scheduled to kindle at the same time is highly recommended, since it allows you to foster kits between the two momma does. That can be a litter saver if you have a litter of just one, or if one doe doesn't feed them, or one doe dies, or other problems like that.

Plus, does are really *really* fertile right after they kindle.

I did. THANKS. I bred her today along with another doe. I am going to have bunnies everywhere.

What you should do before you breed your rabbits is check the doe to see if her "part" are swollen and RED on the inside. If she is not it will not matter how long you leave them together she probably will not breed. And does will castrate a buck if they are pestered and not in the mood. So a quick peek for red and a quick trip in the bucks pen is all it takes.

Yep. I did not see a lot of action with the quick visits. So I decided to let them pair up for 5 days. I left them together for 5 days. I did see the New Zealand attempting the wrong end,
Anyway, I tried not to bother them except to see if they were fighting. I did not see any other breeding attempts, but like I said, I pretty much just left them alone.
I will put in nest boxes around 2/24. We shall see.....

I see my boys doing the hump the head thing after they have unsuccessfully tried the right end, but I push them off and make them do it right. However, there are times that it is more of a dominance maneuver. You can actually see does do this to the buck when she is not receptive.
Personally, I don't leave them together. I want to know when they were actually bred and stay there watching until I see the deed. I let him do his thing twice, check to see if semen is noticable around the doe's vulva and then consider it a good mating.
Sometimes, even after I have seen the deed happen, I will still try them again the next couple of days until I see the doe really reject the buck. BUT that doesn't always tell the truth of what is going on.
I had a Cal doe last year that I put her in with my buck. He serviced her. I tried again the next day and she let him again. In fact, I was getting pretty upset because I was trying her every day for about 3 weeks and she just kept letting him. I had put another doe in starting the same day as the first attempted breeding, and she rejected him in a very aggreassive way the next day!
Well, kindling day came for the one doe and as I was looking through her nest box to see if there were stills to remove, my son says, "Hey, there are babies over here on the floor." That tramp of a doe that kept letting the buck mount her was preggers the first time and had 8 babies right one time! I was able to save 6 and get a box in with her in time that no others were lost.
This rabbit breeding thing is tricky business sometimes.

Did she lift for him or just sit there and he did his thing

someone gave me an old book on raising rabbits. they would pair up rabbits for 30 days. kinda limits the bucks that are useable, but they got babies. we had to do this, but modified it to a week. used first day in together to base when to put nest boxes in, and left in for a week and half past due date. the rabbits actually liked being together. always sitting close together, eating at same time, etc. it workrd for us, hopefully for you too

with my rabbitry we put the doe in with the buck and we see that he does his deed 3 to 4 time while we clean the does cage. I have not read all the replys but something you may want to change is put the buck where he can not see the does. then when it comes breeding time he should take no time at all. to leave them together for that long could get nasty with the birthing. we did breed a doe that was already bred (somehow the paperwork did not get filledout right) and she ended up having her litter of only three but then a litter of 6 that was not fully developed. Pretty nasty. Just my 2 cents....
